THE ULTIMATE DEADLIFT CHECKLIST!
-
1️⃣FEET HIP WIDTH APART AND BARBELL OVER MID-FOOT: In order to establish a strong base of support, start with your feet under your hips with toes forward or slightly flared out. Step up to the bar so that it’s close to your shins and over your mid-foot.
-
2️⃣HINGE YOUR HIPS BACK: Initiate the deadlift by sitting back with your hips. This will help you to load your posterior chain (glutes and hamstrings) and get into a strong starting position.
-
3️⃣GRAB THE BAR JUST OUTSIDE YOUR SHINS: The wider your hands, the greater the demand on your mid and upper back. Keeping your hands in closer will help make the pull feel easier than if they were out too wide.
-
4️⃣ALIGN YOUR ARMPITS DIRECTLY OVER THE BAR: This will set you up for a more vertical and direct bar path, which makes the deadlift much more efficient.
-
5️⃣PUSH INTO THE FLOOR AND STAND TALL: Instead of thinking about “lifting” the bar off the floor, think about “pushing” your feet into the ground. The harder you push down into the floor, the stronger your deadlift will be. Stand tall at the top and look straight ahead to practice good alignment.
-
6️⃣INITIATE THE DESCENT WITH ANOTHER HIP HINGE: Once you’ve gotten to the top of the deadlift, lower it back down by hinging your hips back, loading your posterior chain again, and getting right back into your original starting position.

Zee baby pumpkin delts are making a comeback. I’ve managed to cut 17lbs since September. Ya girl is gonna start tracking again in a week or so and see if she can get down about 4ish more.

That’s all. Ok bye ✌🏼

Getting plants started from your leftover produce is not only easy but very inexpensive. Use veggies with crowns like romaine, baby bib lettuce that comes whole with crown, and the end of celery stocks. So when using each of these items to cook with, cut leaving the base of the stock. Place crowns in a container with a little water in the bottom. Keep water in the bottom, not too full, just covering base of crown about an inch.
When plants have rooted you can plant in well drained soiled in a pot. Here I use a rain gutter to plant in that extended down the center of my farm table. Glued end caps on the rain gutter, added rock for good water drainage and compost soil on top.
Add any other herbs or plants in between and create a wonderful centerpiece on your table.
Would love to hear your ideas that you have! Happy growing!

*That face you make when you take your first couple sips of soda too fast* Ahhh! The effervescence! ⁣
⁣
Srsly tho, I love that tingly fizz from Diet Coke and Lacroix. ⁣🥤🥤🥤
⁣
But what’s the deal with diet soda. Is it bad. Is it good. What the heck. ⁣
⁣
In a nutshell: it’s fine, in moderation, like everything else. I’m sure you saw that coming⁣😉
⁣
The problem is, if you have it every day you’re training your taste buds to need that super sweetness that’s found in aspartame (aka “fake sugar”). ⁣
⁣
Aspartame (like those Equal packets) is 200 times sweeter than table sugar. It still contains 4 calories per gram (just like table sugar), but the intense sweetness allows much less of it to be used in diet sodas. ⁣
⁣
So consuming lots of diet products can get us conditioned to need those sweet tastes. So sweet, that it can deter us from enjoying unprocessed and naturally sweet foods. And really, how can naturally occuring foods compete with products that are literally designed by chemists to be as delicious as possible? ⁣
⁣
There are studies that show that those who tend to overeat seem to use a greater amount of artificial sweeteners. This might be because diet products can actually stimulate overeating by enhancing appetite (Diet coke and a pizza please!🍕🍟🍔) and/or messing up our perception of sweet tastes and caloric density of food. Diet coke = zero calories but it’s still super sweet? This 🍩donut🍩 must also be zero calories! Omnomnom. (Exaggeration, but you get what I mean?)⁣
⁣
Diet soda can definitely help people manage their health. But it can hurt others. So it’s up to you. If you pass on the diet soda, what would you choose instead? And how would that decision influence your deep health?⁣
⁣
Now, if you’re generally fit and healthy and your biggest vice is a diet coke a couple times a week - you go glen coco. But if you’re feeling sluggish, unhealthy, overweight and ALSO a diet soda addict - it might be just one of many vices hindering you from achieving the health you desire.

For anyone who has ever struggled with overeating or emotional eating, this one’s for you 🙏🏼⁣
